McCallie’s Model United Nations team had an outstanding showing at the Southeast High School Model United Nations conference held in Chattanooga.

McCallie senior Gavin LaPlace had the distinguished honor of serving as Secretary General for the conference. The job of secretary general is huge responsibility that extends for nearly an entire year. It was a daunting challenge that Gavin handled in spectacular fashion.

McCallie represented the Egypt delegation in the competition, and was named Best Delegation of the conference. In addition to the overall award, several McCallie delegates won individual awards for their work at SHSMUN.

Sam Bennett and Louis Onoratini were also named to the "All-Star Delegation" from the SHSMUN, which qualifies them to participate in the National High School Model United Nations conference, held at the United Nations Headquarters in March in New York.

Dewayne Bingham won Best Delegate in the Digital Press Corps, the journalistic group that covered the conference.

Frankie Zahrobsky won Honorable Mention in the Introductory Committee, representing Qatar working with Jack Curtis and Robbie Watkins.
